Snakes on a plate: Man puts live reptile through his mouth and nose as China continue celebrating year of the snake
- China celebrates the arrival of the new year with weeklong festivities
- Year of the snake set to be one of 'carefully planned financial decisions'
A performer wow the crowd in Beijing with a less-than-appetizing snake act, putting the heads of live reptiles in his mouth during a festival for the Chinese new year.
Celebrations continued across China and the globe today with thousands of Lunar Festivals to commemorate the year of the snake.
The fair at the Ditan Temple in Beijing featured the troupe which performed with different types of snakes on stage.

Happy chew year: A snake charmer welcomes the year of the revered reptile in the Chinese capital of Beijing today to celebrate the beginning of a new year
The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, began on Sunday, marking the start of the Chinese zodiac's year of the snake.
The Lunar New Year remains the most important festival for Chinese people, resembling a Western Christmas with a weeklong celebration of family reunions, gifts and gastronomic excess.
The snake zodiac is said to bring financial success and a blossoming social life although it has been known to hold bad tidings and is not as loved as the powerful dragon of 2012.
'In Chinese mythology, snakes were often associated with monsters, or with incarnations of monsters, so some political turbulence can be expected,' said Taiwanese astrologer Tsai Shang-chi.

In China, some couples have apparently been trying to schedule their pregnancies to avoid having children born during the snake year, in contrast to the coveted 'Year of the Dragon'.
However Tsai is largely upbeat on the new Chinese year. He believes much-needed liquidity will be injected into struggling world economies, and that babies born over the next 12 months will be both self-motivated and agile.
For souvenir makers, snakes have been a tough sell.
'Last year, our business was a lot better, because everybody loves the dragon, whatever his or her animal sign,' said Lin Peixiang, who owns the Beixiang Souvenir Factory in the city of Wenzhou.
'This year, business is a lot worse, because only those born in the year of the snake love the animal.
'The snake sign is a symbol of fear. People get scared when they see or hear the snake.'
Here, there, everywhere: A young boy on his fathers shoulders wears an inflatable snake-hat at the fair, on the second day of the Lunar New Year in Beijing today
Lucky charm: The crowd at Ditan Temple Park, Beijing was allowed to touch the performer's python, a sign of good fortune for the new year
Return of the reptile: A female snake charmer cuddles her python on stage in a park in Beijing as China celebrates the coming of the year of the snake
Pleasant pals: 2013 is the year of the water snake meaning luck in finances and social lives
Hong Kong feng shui master Raymond Lo is trying to put a positive spin on the year. He points out that according to astrological tables, this year's variety is the relatively mild 'morning dew' type of common water snake, less venomous than recent predecessors.
'It's more moderate, humble and
patient,' Lo said of the 2013 snake.
'Unlike dragons that make abrupt, attention-getting moves, snakes take slow and steady steps.'
Burning prayer: Temple goers light incense as they pray for health and fortune in the new years as millions attend temple festivals across China attend Temple fairs on the second day of celebration

Review is just for the biscuits, but, gosh, what terrific biscuits! I used kefir instead of buttermilk and just plain forgot to add the sugar, and did not miss it. They browned beautifully and the flavor was just great. I would likely add just a little more green onion next time, did not really notice the flavor and I like green onions, but they are terrific just as they are. Made a delicious light dinner for us tonight with sausage gravy I already had and some soup.
I printed this recipe when I first saw it, I'm so happy I did! I have sage and thyme still growing and thought this would be a great way to use some. I did add a little dried sage also. The biscuits are amazing as was the gravy! I used a hint from another recipe (can't remember which) to pat the biscuit dough out to the right thickness and just cut into squares. I do this all the time, much faster and since there is less handling the biscuits are more tender. Thanks Annacia for a real keeper!!!
If you want Gravy and Biscuits for dinner!!! Hamburger gravy and Biscuits is the best way to have it for dinner!!! It's awesome!!! You make it about the same way like sausage gravy but with hamburger meat!!!

I love the Amateur Comedy Showcases, not because they're non-stop hilarity, but because you never know what you're going to get!
Gilda's LaughFest hosts several amateur showcases every year during the festival, and I got check out a few and see some local and regional comics working hard on their sets.
On Saturday night, I got to help host the National Comedy Showcase at Dr. Grin's for Gilda's LaughFest.
There were five touring comics and a great local comic who did a great job of keeping the laughter going.
GRD got to give away a bunch of tickets this week so people could get in to see the Big Jay Oakerson show with Ben Roy at The Orbit Room in Grand Rapids.
It was all part of Gilda's LaughFest on Thursday night.
On Thursday, Gilda's Laughfest and Bud Light is prepared to bring smiles and laughs to The Orbit Room.
Featured on Comedy Central's This is Not Happening, Big Jay Oakerson is headlining a night of laughs along with comedian Ben Roy as a special guest. The performance is 8 p.m.
On Sunday at The B.O.B., I got to help introduce the Amateur Stand-up Showcase with a bunch of great local and not-so-local comics hitting the stage for laughs.
Fourteen up and coming comics each had five minutes to make people laugh, and that takes a lot of guts!
It's a really cool thing for Gilda's LaughFest to have these amateur showcases, getting hard-working comics the chance to perform at a great event, with some of the big names in comedy.
Lavell Crawford has canceled his Gilda's LaughFest appearance for Wednesday night because of a movie he's currently filming, festival officials announced this morning.
The cancellation of his appearance at Fountain Street Church is because of a change in the production schedule for the film "Meet the Blacks."
On "The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show," we got a chance to talk to comedian Kathleen Madigan.
She was the very first comedian Free Beer and Hot Wings ever interviewed nearly 15 years ago!
Gilda's Laughfest has so much to offer to make sure you are laughing this season! While there are some big names coming around this area for the event that can cost you a penny or two.
We have a box full of tickets to a great Laughfest event at the Orbit Room!
A paper crown-capped world record was part of the agenda at the Gilda's LaughFest Community Kickoff.
While the world mark set last July didn't tumble, the throngs at Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids more than made up for it in spirit, energy, effusiveness and antics Thursday night.
Gilda's LaughFest is relocating its LaughFest Community Kickoff for the 10-day festival on Thursday night to Fountain Street Church because of weather concerns, festival officials announced.
Actor-comedian Billy Gardell visited with us on "The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show" today.
Gardell is perhaps best known for his work on CBS' "Mike & Molly" and he appears next week at the Gilda's LaughFest comedy festival in Grand Rapids.

Shop For a Best Rated Kitchen Faucet Today
It makes sense to think that the perfect kitchen needs flawless kitchen faucets. Whilst they might seem like a fairly simple and unassuming accessory, they can make a big difference to the overall look of the space. This is why it is important to find the best rated kitchen faucet and incorporate it into the design of your home.
This guide to the top three benefits of shopping for top quality kitchen faucets will help you understand how essential this little detail can be and what to look for when shopping for this kind of household accessory.
The Benefits of Great Kitchen Faucets
With a best rated kitchen faucet – from a top brand – you can rest assured that the movement of water in your sink will always be easy. There should never be any concern about leaks, sputtering, splashing, or mess. The flow of water from finely crafted kitchen faucets is consistent and smooth.
It is easy to forget just how frustrating a super noisy tap can be, at least until you are dealing with one yourself that is. Yet, if you opt for premium kitchen faucets, you will be able to enjoy a water stream which does not hit the back flow valve or make annoying chugging and knocking noises. Plus, the mechanisms will naturally be more durable – this kind of knocking can harm a faucet.
Finally, it is worth thinking about how much more smoothly your kitchen is going to function with a best rated kitchen faucet from one of the top brands. In fact, lower level products simply cannot offer the same degree of design, functionality, and style. For example, with premium faucets, you can choose from a broad range of additional features; everything from swivel mechanisms to elevated PSI, lifted arches, and hose necks.
Ultimately, the decision is yours to make. One of the best things about modern kitchen faucets is that they offer so much choice. You can buy from a well-known brand, browse hundreds of diverse models, or even go entirely bespoke. As long as you end up with accessories which perfectly complement your activities within the kitchen, your search has been a successful one.

Symbols of Power in Clothing Worn by the Plains Indians
Power shirts, often made of tanned animal hides and adorned with objects such as fur, beads, and locks of hair, were highly important in the culture of many Native Americans. These shirts, which were associated very closely with the identity of their wearer, contained various symbols representing success in war, spirituality, special abilities, and outstanding achievements. After studying these shirts, learning to understand their significance to Native Americans, and discussing the symbols they
"Labor Has To Be International:" David Abdulah Describes Workers Strategies for Organizing Transnati
The power, global reach, and flexibility of multi-national corporations increased dramatically during the 1980's and 1990's as a revolution in communications technology and the increasing adoption of free trade agreements between countries allowed companies to shift production easily from one part of the globe to another. Many companies could now pressure labor unions by negotiating favorable contracts wherever labor costs and local tax laws suited them. However, the increasingly interwoven glob
"Working for My Benefits:" Brenda Steward Describes the Work Experience Program (WEP) in New York Ci
During the 1960's and 1970's welfare reform movements from the left sought to increase benefits and expand community power, but in 1996 critics from the right passed the federal Welfare Reform Act to limit the program by imposing time-limits and restrictions on welfare benefits. In New York City, the Work Experience Program (WEP), or workfare, initiated in conjunction with the 1996 act, required welfare recipients to "pay off" their welfare benefits by working menial jobs for the city at well be

We now know that, directly or indirectly, plate tectonics influences nearly all geologic processes, past and present. Indeed, the notion that the entire Earth's surface is continually shifting has profoundly changed the way

Flight returns to Albany, NY, after smoke report
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – Authorities say a passenger jet bound for the Washington, D.C., area turned back to Albany, N.Y., after smoke was reported in one of the restrooms.
Doug Myers, spokesman for Albany International Airport, says United Flight 3739 landed safely. The emergency was reported just after 3:30 p.m. Friday.
There were no injuries among the 65 passengers and crew who were headed from Albany to Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia.
Myers says a smoke detector in one of the restrooms triggered. Investigators are trying to determine the source of the smoke.

White Plains Road is a major north-south thoroughfare which runs the length of the Bronx borough of New York City. At 7.3 miles, it is the longest continuous street in the Bronx. It runs from Castle Hill and Clason Point in the south to Wakefield in the north, where it crosses the city line and becomes West 1st Street of Mount Vernon, New York. The Bronx River Parkway lies to its west and parallels much of its route. Between Magenta Street & 217th Street, White Plains Road is very wide due to the presence of the Gun Hill Road station house in the road's median.
North of Birchall Avenue in Van Nest, White Plains Road runs below the New York City Subway line of the same name, to that line's terminus between East 241st Street and Saint Quen Street in Wakefield.

If you are in the Evansville area you really owe it to yourself to check out the Top Dead Center show. Top Dead Center is the premier Original band in Evansville,In. Music is written by David Miller and then produced into a collaboration of all members. Once Dave puts the idea on the table every one in the band takes a bite out of it and makes it their own. Ross Hansen is the most talented lead guitarist in Evansville,In. Ross' leads are complimentary to the backing rhythm and squeal, spike and scream in your face on our loud and proud tunes or melodically lie in the background of our slow and soft melodies. Our newest members are Jeff Proctor on the drums and Philip Durham on the Bass guitar. Jeff and Philip are working very well together to bring the low end of things into working order. It's a pleasant change though we miss Paul and Micah. With a variation of tunes in our report e' we will likely get you up screaming and dancing or mellow you through the moment. A rock band based on the feeling of sounding like we came out of the past to play straight up in your face Classic style Rock and Roll. Think mid 60's to mid 70's Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent type of stuff. We really have a unique sound that is like no other band to compare to. Who do we sound like? Top Dead Center...that's who.
Rock On!

Fire officials in western Colorado believe that the wildfire that destroyed three homes and damaged another in the small town of Mesa was caused by a person.
They say that's because no storms were in the area when the fire broke out. The cause is under investigation.
The fire burned about ten acres before it was nearly contained by early today. A firefighters spokesman says the fire burned in a deep canyon, making it difficult to fight.
Another fire in New Castle, about 40 miles to the northwest, is also nearly contained. Residents of dozens of homes have been allowed to return. That fire was caused by lighting.
A third fire that burned more than one-thousand acres west of New Castle is also nearly contained.

This is an applications paper reporting on the methodological basis and the development of a production-grade software package for use in the dynamic stability (or "small disturbance") analysis of large power systems. This package, known as EISEMAN (EIgenSystem Evaluation-Machine And Network), is capable of studying a wide range of dynamic stability phenomena, such as subsynchronous resonance, intermachine rotor oscillations, and the effects of excitation and turbine-governor systems on stability. All of the eigenvalues of the system are calculated, as well as desired eigenvalue sensitivities. A noteworthy feature of this eigenvalue-based tool is its capability of modeling to various degrees of detail the dynamics of the power system components-the network, synchronous machines and control systems. This tool can also be used to develop root locus plots and the frequency response characteristics of the power system. The present version of EISEMAN can be used for the analysis of systems containing up to 250 machines, 1,500 buses, 2,000 lines, and 500 dynamic states. Several test cases demonstrate the application of this tool.

I agree we need to elevate the value of human life. I think the first step to that is going back to having winners and losers in elementary school playground games and sports. I know its not directly related, but i think it is the grain of sand that starts the pearl.<quoted text>I agree and you're right -- that's another novel or two.
We first and foremost need to elevate the value of a human life and I have absolutely no idea how to do that. Each person has something they can contribute to our society, if they choose to do so.
Maybe more random acts of kindness, paying it forward, etc., would be a good place to start. It would help if the media would report more of the good things people do on a daily basis and not make it seem as though it is unusual for someone to be nice. Don't sensationalize it, either -- just a basic report about the good things people do and back off some on the bad things.
We're all guilty of watching and wanting to see all the carnage -- like watching a train wreck, we just can't NOT watch. So that adds to the ratings and the news programs take off from there.
Maybe we can start with "we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it any more" with the sensationalism and see what happens. But that would mean we, as a people, would have to stop watching the things our very nature tells us we want to see.
Like I said, no easy answers.
I coached Tee ball and Coach's Pitch for two years as an assistant. Nobody kept score. At the end of every game, the first thing the kids asked was "who won?". Every team, regardless of performance, effort, or lack there of, was told that they won.
I stopped coaching because I didn't want to be a part of teaching kids that regardless of If you practice or not, if you try hard or not, if you have a bad day or not, you still win. That's just not reality. People fail. If they try harder and work at it, they can succeed. I think the everybody wins method sets children up for failure, with no idea how to do anything about it, because they've never had to before. It also sets them up to fall into the " government will do everything for me and look out for my best interest" mentality.
The random acts of kindness, I agree, but it needs to be a true representation of what's out there. First, people being taxed to death are not as likely to feel or be charitable. Secondly, representative sample needs to be highlighted. What I mean by that is this: there is a special feature on the news in Baton Rouge Louisiana called "Hand It On". People are nominated to receive $300 to use as they wish due to their random acts of kindness. To watch that feature, one would think minorities are the only ones who display random acts of kindness. Apparently, all white people are Scrooges. My point is, even profiling random acts of kindness has an agenda by the media.
As for the fascination with carnage, I'm extremely close to disconnecting television all together.

Hendrix College has a beautiful campus filled with state-of-the-art buildings. The new Student Life and Technology Center (SLTC) building is gorgeous, spacious, LEED-certified, and well organized, with lots to do and plenty of space to hang out. There are plenty of computers and TVs to use in the SLTC, making it an even better place to spend your time. The Wellness and Athletics Center, an even newer building, offers a wide variety of athletic facilities, from a swimming pool to a rock-climbing wall, complementing the athletic offerings already present. Though other buildings—particularly the freshman dorms—are less modern, they are still at least adequate at performing their respective duties.
The campus is dominated by red-brick buildings—in fact, it seems like every building on campus is made out of red brick—but the styles vary, and the buildings are gorgeous. Despite being a small campus with lots of facilities, Hendrix still manages to fit in a good deal of open space, from the relaxing and popular Pecan Grove to the gazebo to the well-known fountain. The Brick Pit is another wide, open space on campus, used for many special events that a good amount of the student body will be attending. Students often use these open spaces scattered across campus for studying, chatting with friends, or just plain relaxing when the weather's nice, and the open spaces make it easier to move from building to building in between classes. The campus is beautiful and functional, modern yet untamed—what more could a student ask for?

Existing tone reproduction schemes are generally based on a single image and are, therefore, unable to accurately recover the local details and colors of scene since the limited available information. Accordingly, the proposed tone reproduction system utilizes two images with different exposures (one low and one high) to capture the local detail and color information of low- and high-luminance regions of scene, respectively. The adaptive local region of each pixel is developed in order to appropriately reveal the details and maintain the overall impression of scene. Our system implements the local tone mapping and color mapping based on the adaptive local region by taking the lowly-exposed image as the basis and referencing the information of highly-exposed image. The local tone mapping compresses the luminance range in the image and enhances the local contrast to reveal the details, while the local color mapping maps the precise color information from the highly-exposed image to the lowly-exposed image. Finally, a fusion process is proposed to mix the local tone mapping and local color mapping results to produce the output image. A multiresolution approach is also developed to reduce time cost. The experimental results confirm that the system generates realistic reproductions of HDR scenes.

She's offering her fellows in Soul-stice Repertory not some performance-enhancing pharmaceuticals but simply Altoids, saying that actors find the mints indispensable, especially for impending kissing scenes. Still, the cast and crew of Soul-stice, working toward the opening of their 2001 repertory, may need any boost they can get.
Cline, for instance, will be rehearsing her role as Maggie in Cat all morning, then after lunch directing a rehearsal of Noel Coward's comedy Hay Fever all afternoon. Fortunately she gets a break this particular Saturday night as Hudson Adams, her husband and Soul-stice co-founder, will be directing the first dress rehearsal of Othello, which opens in six days.
All three plays, in addition to midnight showings of Alice in Wonderland, also directed by Cline, are being staged in rotating productions at 7 Stages' little theater from Feb. 15 to March 18. Members of the company will play multiple roles off-stage and on, but the concentrated workload is business as usual as Soul-stice upholds the tradition of repertory theater.
The word "repertory"in the strictest sense refers to theaters that keep specific plays in a permanent repertoire. But most often it refers to theaters like Soul-stice or the Georgia Shakespeare Festival, in which a regular pool of actors play rotating parts, especially during a set time of year when multiple shows are staged on alternate nights.
"Repertory companies are an old-school British theater tradition," Cline says, pointing out that in Shakespeare's time, a company could have 30-40 plays at their disposal at once. "People like Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart came up doing repertory and became great character actors because they had so much opportunity to stretch their range."
Every year Soul-stice gives about a dozen actors the chance to stretch with classics produced in the dark, intimate back stage space. This year Barbara Cole plays Emilia in Othello and Alice in Wonderland, while also serving as assistant director for Cat and the theater's managing director. Brik Berkes plays tormented Brick in Cat and dandyish Roderigo in Othello, while Jeff McKerley and Donna Wright play married couples in both the Shakespeare and Coward plays.
With so much work in store, Soul-stice selects its casts about six months in advance of its repertory performances. "We cast in August because of the difficulty in learning all these lines."
Actor Daniel May, participating in his first series of repertory productions as Cassio in Othello and Simon Bliss in Hay Fever, finds the experience a definite adjustment. "The most obvious difference is the split focus, especially playing multiple characters in different shows. You have to put the work into them to make them distinct. I have to make mental notes when it seems that Cassio is creeping into Simon."
Shifting gears from one kind of play to another can be tricky. "Hay Fever is a challenge because of the nature of the dialogue, and it's exacerbated by the rep format," May acknowledges. "Shakespeare has always been easy to deal with, because of the lyrical nature and poetic form, and the dialogue tends to be straightforward speech or simple exchanges. With Hay Fever, a lot [of it] is people being unable to finish sentences or trying to interject when others are talking. It can be hard keeping up with the technical aspects of it."
"In a repertory the discipline's different," Cline says, pointing out that typically, a given play might have as many as 20 rehearsals. "If you only get about 11 rehearsals, as we usually do, there's a sense that all of them have to count, and that sense is heightened in a repertory situation. And that's compounded by the fact that we're doing classic plays. We could do five-and-a-half weeks on each of them, instead of all of them."
From 1992 to 1994, Cline and Adams staged classics and developed new plays at the Play Ground Theatre, a company that evolved into Soul-stice, which staged its first repertory in 1995. About the same time, Adams joined the Georgia Shakespeare Festival, where he's now an artistic associate.
Working on Othello Sunday afternoon, Adams comments on the differences between Atlanta's repertory theaters. "One of the nice things about Georgia Shake is that when I work there, because of the scale it's on, I'm an actor," he says. "I'm not being pompous about it, but I don't have to sweep or do carpentry. And out there you have eight-hour rehearsal days. Here, all of these folks have day jobs -- they get to work at 8 or 9 in the morning, then rush to get over here by 6:30. We work on the play at night and on weekends."
Wearing a GSF T-shirt and an ART Station cap, he points out an advantage to Soul-stice's smaller size. "We have the luxury of being able to cast people against their type. When you're a company at the level of the Alliance or Georgia Shake, you'll cast according to type, because that's what you're paying the actors good money for. But we cast so our actors can stretch. We won't cast, say, somebody who plays ingenues in just the ingenue roles."
Cline says that audiences like to see the players do 180-degree turns. "If we get an audience for one show, they usually come back for at least one more. They enjoy seeing players doing something else, often something very different, like Brik playing the fop in Othello and Brick in Cat."
Planning the rehearsal schedule, from coordinating actors' schedules to building and storing the sets, can be a logistically daunting task every year. "It ends up becoming a little more like rocket science than you might want it to be. We have a schedule and we have to stay on it. We can't go into overtime here, since we're doing other shows that we have to respect." That's proved by the Saturday rehearsal of Cat, which runs out of time before getting to the last act, which the cast must squeeze into free hours on Sunday.
ART Station artistic director David Thomas, directing Cat, says that logistic complications aren't that different from helming a single show. "The reality for actors in Atlanta is that everyone's always doing more than one thing at the same time, so whenever we're doing a show at ART Station, my cast will be off doing something else during their free time, so we have to plan around that."
Actors extol the advantages of appearing in multiple plays rather than bemoaning the challenges. Speaking of both Soul-stice and GSF, Adams says, "It's nice because most of the time we're getting to do very distinct characters, so it's very easy to keep them apart. It triggers different ideas and different thoughts, not being lulled into just doing a technical performance."
May concurs. "My two roles kind of feed each other," he says. "I can let go of Cassio and be something opposite, and it's not often you get the opportunity to do that, which is a good thing. You can live so much in a single character in ways you don't notice. It's great to be in a rep situation because you don't get locked in one character."
Even when actors get huge workloads, they get a lift from the experience. In Soul-stice's 1998 repertory, Tim Habeger played both Macbeth and the major role of Lopakhin in The Cherry Orchard. "When I was doing those plays with Soul-stice, I spent a lot of time working on them as well as running PushPush Theater, but I felt great and alive and full of energy. The roles were so different that it felt very healthy to come off of Macbeth and then the next night redeem my soul as Lopakhin."
Indeed, it seems that simply being in repertory can make acting pills unnecessary.
Othello, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Hay Fever play in repertory through March 18 at the Backstage Theatre of 7 Stages, 1105 Euclid Ave., with performances at 8 p.m. Thurs.-Sun. and 2 p.m. matinees on March 3, 4, 10, 11, 17 and 18. Alice in Wonderland plays at midnight March 3, 4, 10, 11, 17 and 18. $10-15. Call 770-591-3036.

I'm having 2 classes - one holding Entity information other holding Component information. Now the problem is that the Entity class needs Component class already defined for using it in vector of children, but at the same time Component needs Entity to declare it as it's parent (I'm keeping everything linked in between). This puts out strange errors, even though IntelliSense says it's all already defined.
How can I overcome this difficulty?
